STOCKTON - A Stockton car salesman became a carjacking victim when he went out on a test drive with a potential customer about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.

During the test drive, the carjacker stopped the vehicle, reached under his shirt as though he had a weapon and pushed the victim out of the car near French Camp and Manthey roads, police said. He then took the vehicle and fled south on Interstate 5 from Manthey Road, authorities said.

The carjacker was described as a black man in his mid- to late 20s standing 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin build, a dark complexion, a black baseball cap and a white shirt.
